I have a 2001 and just went through this. My top would just bump the tonneau cover AND the tonneau cover kind of slammed down instead of gently sitting. For me it was a shear pin that I didn't replace on time and therefore the universal joint needed to be replaced. You can check to see if you see the shear pin damaged by opening the trunk and pulling back the trunk liner at the top right of the trunk. Your mechanics will be hydraulic I believe. You could do it yourself. I opted for a dealer and they charged me around $350 to replace the universal joint. There is good DIY info about this on this site so do a search or two.
